Humans were indeed a strange creature.
There were many times when they knew that there was a better choice for them to pick, yet they picked the hardest and illogical choice because of their feelings. The unwillingness within their heart was poured out, unable to be contained.
But that was what made life so colorful.
People have feelings and not just rationality. It was the combination of these two that influenced their thoughts.
River General Kui knew very well that it was the best choice for him to submit and work for Fei Yang Kingdom. But he had worked for Wei Da Kingdom for his entire life and unlike some generals who were willing to move to other kingdoms, his root is in Wei Da Kingdom from the moment he was born.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
He was unwilling.
It was because of this that even when Emperor Yang Zhou came here, he didn't let the other party speak.
He had lived for so many decades and River General Kui wanted his end to be the route he picked. This might be the last stubbornness that was left in his life.
"I respect your decision, River General Kui. The war had left so many scars and it's impossible to erase all of them." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at River General Kui and cupped his fist.
River General Kui is a worthy opponent.
Over the years, it was River General Kui's mind and methods that had allowed Wei Da Kingdom to thrive. There were even times when Fei Yang Kingdom suffered in his hand in the past.
It was an honor for them to be able to have a worthy opponent like him.
But wars itself is a cruel thing.
Because of the ambitions and goals' that they had, so many people lost their lives. A lot of people's lives changed because of the war. They lost their families, relatives, and even their land in this war.
It was impossible for things to be completely the same.
Emperor Yang Zhou took the last look on River General Kui before walking away. Only River General Kui was left behind, looking at the back of the two youths who were walking away.
He took a deep breath and laughed lightly.
*cough* *cough*
Coughing fiercely, River General Kui looked at the blood in his hand and shook his head. In truth, he knew that his physical condition deteriorated and during the last war, he had basically pushed himself beyond the limit.
His old body couldn't handle such stress.
Right now, his organs were already breaking down and probably wouldn't last for much longer.
However, he had no regret.
Being able to see the powerful young emperor and realizing the differences between the kingdoms was the most satisfying thing for him. At the very least, he now knew why he had lost.
He closed his eyes and sat down, basking in the sun as a drop of tear fell down from the corner of his eyes.
...
Emperor Yang Zhou and Long Qian Xing didn't talk until they walked out of this 'prison' and returned to the palace. During this time, Long Qian Xing was actually thinking about many things.
While he didn't like politics, he was still informed of their movements.
After all, it was necessary for him to know some things in order to make sure that he was not left behind in news.
Tep.
Emperor Yang Zhou stopped. "Do you think that I should have killed him?"
"No." Long Qian Xing looked at Emperor Yang Zhou and smiled faintly. "He's already at the end of his life. It's better to let him stay alive and let some nobles to pay a visit in the future."
So that he could be of use to Fei Yang Kingdom.
Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Long Qian Xing deeply.
